Case Study: Care New England Health System achieves enterprise clinical engineering savings with ABM Industries

Healthcare Technology & Cost-Effective Compliance for Care New England

Care New England Health System, a three-hospital healthcare network in Rhode Island, needed to align its medical equipment maintenance and management practices with updated CMS and TJC requirements while also overcoming fragmented, siloed clinical engineering operations across its member hospitals. ABM Industries helped the health system address these challenges with a holistic clinical engineering strategy and enterprise management approach.

ABM Industries worked with Care New England to implement a system-wide labor infrastructure, standardized operating procedures, professional technology leadership, and an automated web-based enterprise technology management system. The result was greater visibility, accountability, and standardization across the system, more work performed in-house, and an estimated $740,000+ in CE spend savings already achieved, with an additional $2 million expected over five years.
